SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME...

This has been a really tough week for me, and the weekend is worse...
Choclahontas and pita are in full swing...one day they are together, the next they are apart...but she wont put him out "cause he was sleeping on a park bench"...so that means I got to house and feed him? I don't fucken think so...he's not my kid, and she is on a slippery slope out the door too (though it breaks my heart). I told her today if she can't keep clean, and clean her room for inspection she has to go...her response "whatever"...
MMB is really trying to help...she has been put in this situation before when choclahontas was in her teens and rebelling. She feels that she has to be the perfect child and attempts not stress me further...but this is bad, cause she swallows her issues, and attempts to resolve them herself. In being "perfect" she annoys choclahontas, who turns on her, and becomes more introverted (hiding in her room) and anxious.
Then there is money...I have none...my college check ended, idiot has decided that traveling the country with his basketball team (and paying for room and food) is more important than paying a measly four hundred a month...my check alone does not cover my bills...and throw in the four-seventy I had to pay cause my tooth broke...I have one hundred dollers to my name for two weeks...I don't want to borrow from my rent cause I may not be able to put it back...and I want to put out choclahontas...what am I thinking...
So hustle I have to...hopefully when MMB is in Oregon I can work in a salon after work and braid. I will have eleven days to work day and night. I will even babysit after work...Anything to bring in a buck...I would love to make a thousand dollers over the summer...that will take me through the summer with ease, but five hundred is more attainable (thats one boxbraid per week, or two cornrows)...

But the good thing is I saw dread (who is not trinni, I was looking at the wrong car). He said he had to work that day and didn't get lunch till later...he said he walked over there to see if I was still there, and has been looking for me...awwww, thats sweet...we haven't exchanged numbers, I'm going to go at his pace...MMB met him and actually liked him (and believe me, that means alot...she generally looks at folks from under her eyes and glowers...much like spice)...I'm trying not to sabotage it by being nasty, or saying things I know will scare him away, and I'm really attempting not to compare him to idiot (cause the birthdays are a day apart)...

Well, back to reality...

I love her but it's time for her to go.... I've *been* saying that. And I told you what you should do. stop being a softie...

As for the money. Truly, you need to stop obsessing about it. You know you *always* manage to get through somehow... you find something, you get a windfall, whatever, whereas I NEVER get windfalls and am always behind the 8-ball. Besides, everybody's broke. My neighbor told me just today "If ya keep thinking about the money, you'll never enjoy life".
